BY KIDS: Summer Poems
Summer Vacation
By Lynsey Jackola
You toss the ball
You throw the stick
You gripe and you moan, you’re ever sick
Of playing with the dog
Who hogs the log.
He takes a growl as a good job
And a smile as a “you’re dumb bob.”
I scowl and throw the stick
And he takes off really quick
He jumps into the water
Just like it got hotter,
Receives his stick
Then gives it to me with a lick.
“Hey you old dog, you might not be bad,
maybe you could just be my lad!”
And so off we went
Into our cozy nice tent.
Summer
By Trent Massie
Summer, summer
To it’s funner
Than being at school
And doing nothing cool
Like fishing
And riding bikes
And not being bored
Unless I have the school teacher

School’s Out!
By Lynsey Jackola
Nothing beats the dismissal bell
“Out of school!” kids start to yell
NO MORE PENCILS, NO MORE BOOKS!
NO MORE TEACHERS, SCARY LOOKS!
Here come students, filing out
Pushing, shoving, ow! They shout!
Children race home to put on their shorts,
Obviously doing some kind of sport.
Kids throw the ball and they jump the rope,
Some go to the horses, wanting to lope.
Others go to play video games
Which is actually pretty lame.
I think however you spend your summer,
Use it wisely, because soon, school! Bummer.
An Outdoor Summer
By Alexa Hammack
I love outdoors with the trees and the grass
Going out fishing and catching big bass
Seeing the deer run and bounce
Seeing the nature is all that counts
Hiking, fishing, hunting, and more
Hunting for deer, rabbits and boars
Hearing the birds sing and fly
Everything’s beautiful to my eyes
The blue sky and white clouds what a pretty sight
Staying up playing about all night
Now you know that summer is cool
If you don’t like it you’re a huge fool.
When is Summer?!
By Veronica Barton
Only a few days
Before school is done
Then there’s summer vacation
Which is super fun!
But these days drag along
Making me tired
I wish that school was like a job
And that the teacher got me fired
School, school, it’s such a bore
I like my teacher and all
But if I spent another month
On schoolwork, I’d surely bawl!
Summer Waiting
By Veronica Barton
Waiting, waiting,
For school to end
Days, days,
Why do they take so long
School, school,
I like my teacher, but
Summer, summer,
Vacation’s so fun!
During the Summer
By Geneva Simonson
During the summer
The sun shines bright
The sky is clear in the darkness of night
You can see the moon and the stars
The lighting bugs glow in the jars
Kids laugh and play all during the day
They throw fits when it’s time to “hit the hay”
You wake up in the morning
To have lots of fun
And you will go back to sleep
When the day is done
I Hate Chores in the Summer
By Alexa Hammack
When school’s over there’s
Popsicles and heat
Baking good meals and a lot of yummy sweets
Staying up late at night having some fun
Thinking a whole bunch about how summer’s begun
Running through the sprinkler on a hot day
Sitting on the ground and thinking about what to play
This day has been long and fun, but it’s time to go to sleep
Dang, I forgot I have to do chores, like fold, wash and sweep
I’m Ready for Summer
By Geneva Simonson
School was fun
But I’m ready for some summer fun
I’m ready to swim, camp and hike
I’m ready to ride my new bike
I’m ready to sleep in late
Summer is fun, and I can’t wait!
